I guess my gov lifted the mask order in the state, but it's still my choice.

I will continue to wear a mask. I believe you can still get Covid, and I think the mask protects me, not just others. I have not had a cold or a sick day since the beginning of this pandemic.

They've had over a year to figure out the seriousness of all this. If they haven't figured it out by now, maybe a darwin award is in their future (I bet there's a fair amount of overlap between the antivax antimaskers and the people filling up trash bags with gasoline)

We have a lot of Japanese tourists in my area and many of them wear masks(pre-Covid). I don't know the history behind their mask wearing.

They had a trial run in Asia, and protected themselves, and the rest of the world, from catastrophe.

We could have learned from them.

Sadly, we chose not to.

are the same people who are anti masked. They haven’t been wearing masks at all or wearing the. In their chin.

I honestly don’t care what they do anymore. They can keep getting sick or worse,

I’ll keep wearing my mask indoors and doing what I have been doing all along to keep safe.

Anyone who thinks they have some special insight no one else has and that reason is the reason they aren’t being vaccinated, is an anti vaxxer.

That is why I am at least going to wear masks until May 2022. Then definitely wear them from the first of October till the first of May each year.

I have really enjoyed not having norovirus for the past 18 months. There are other viruses that can make life miserable.

I learned in my 20's, just being diligent about hand washing and not touching door handles cut my incidence of flu and colds cut by about 70%

I used to get flu once a year. But just wiping my hands after touching a public doorknob changed my flu incidence to about once every 7 or 8 years.

Before Corona, I was accused of being a germaphobe.

Not so much nowadays.
